What about other people?
How would a LaTeX person expect to find things?
What about a Mac Application programming guy?
Well, let’s try to see which profiles we can come up with:
1. Web developer
a. Client side (HTML, JavaScript, CSS)
b. Server side (PHP, Java, Rails)
c. Sysadmin (Apache, Lighttp)
2. Writer (is Markdown, Textile, etc. here?)
a. Typesetting
3. Programmer
a. Scripting Language
b. Compiled Language
c. Frameworks (maybe this should just be under “related” for
the language it extends)
d. Building (?)
5. Musician
6. Scientist
a. Graphics (mostly plotting, and Context Free is probably not
really for scientists, maybe “academics” is more appropriate)
b. Typesetting (overlaps with 2.a)
c. Other (like Matlab, R, etc.)
7. Version control
8. Data storage
a. General purpose (JSON, YAML, Property List, XML, Ini)
b. Specific format (if stuff ends up here, the other
categories have failed)
9. Mac specific (MacPorts, Installer, AppleScript, Xcode,
Transmit, FileMerge)
10. Productivity (GTD, TODO, Remind)
11. Third party support
a. Wiki
b. Appliction (Vectorscript, Quake)
I know 3.a versus 3.b will give rise to debate, and for the more
esoteric languages, there probably is no preconceived notion of what
the language is (like e.g. both Python and AppleScript are considered
scripting languages, despite both of them generally being compiled).
